CONCERTS

Thursday, October 20/10/22 – Korean Composers

On Thursday 20 October, Film Fest Ghent is putting the spotlight on Korean film music in the unique concert Korean Composers. Scores for the films such as the Oscar-winning Parasite and the hit series Squid Game will be performed live. South Korean cinema will also serve as the focus of the 49th edition of the festival, which runs from 11 to 22 October.

 

Brussels Philharmonic, conducted by Maestro Dirk Brossé will perform live music by (amongst others) Cho Young-wuk, the go-to composer of filmmaker Park Chan-wook, at the Music Centre De Bijloke. He wrote the score for films such as Joint Security Area, Oldboy, Lady Vengeance, The Handmaiden, and Decision to Leave (Park Chan-wook’s latest film, which is competing for the 2022 Palme d’Or). The composer often records his music in Belgium with an orchestra conducted by Dirk Brossé, as he did for the film Hunt (Lee Jung-jae), which will play out of competition at this year’s Cannes festival. Cho Young-wuk will attend the concert in person.

 

The music of Jung Jae-il will also play an important part in the concert. Jung Jae-il has made a remarkable breakthrough in recent years thanks to scores for Bong Joon ho’s films Okja and Parasite, and the Netflix hit series Squid Game. His latest work can be heard in Hirokazu Kore-eda’s Palm d’Or contender Broker.
